Held onto this one for a little longer than intended - pulled it out of the back of my fridge. The pour is fairly uninspiring, a slightly red-tinted brown color with a tiny head. The aroma is nice though, there's a nice smoky peat aroma with a touch of malts. The taste is really just what you get, a pretty solid amount of smoky peat and a bit of malts. The mouthfeel is lighter-bodied and very smooth, and the drinkability is solid. Overall, a pretty good Wee Heavy that's held up rather well.

Comes out of the tap an opaque dark chocolaty brown with a fine-bubbled pale yellow-beige head that leaves very generous lacing - more like a curtain than lacing! Malty aroma has notes of cloves, caramel and cinnamon. Satisfying malty flavor delights with notes of cloves and caramel. Texture has firm body and plenty of tingle. Look for this one, laddies and lasses!

(Smell) Aroma consists of toasted malt, a hint of berry fruits make up the nose of this brew. Overall the nose carries a subtle sweetness. Potency is a medium-low. 3.5

(Taste) Mostly the toasted malts and substantial toasted wood chips are the dominant flavors in the mouth. Fruit flavors aren't as dominant but come through well in big sips. Balance is just about right, a bit wood and toast heavy but close. 3.5

(Mouthfeel) Very slick smoothness keeps this beer on the subtle mild side. Alcohol presenc is a low. Body is a medium. Pretty solid pairing. 4

(Overall) A pretty good take by Red Brick. Worth a shot considering the lack of Scotch Ales in the area. Get it while it's here if for the right price. 3.5
